James Edward Hervey MacDonald was one of the founding members of the Group of Seven, an influential art movement of Canadian landscape painters from 1920-33. He was also a leading graphic designer, a calligrapher and a poet, his design work was strongly influenced by Arts and Crafts designers, especially William Morris. His painting style is characterized by a vigorous brushwork and a richer command of color and pigment than any other artists of the Group of Seven. In intensity and freshness of execution his sketches show a quality that is often compared to Van Gogh.
More paintings from the members of the Group of Seven available in the collection.
